Hm... Maybe I was to hasty and remembered incorrectly that this was
covered in the FAQ for this newsgroup. In particular, I didn't find a
FAQ for gnu.g++.help at rtfm.mit.edu at all.

Please excuse this false pointer!

gcc handles various kinds of source files but it adds only the C
library by default. If you also want to get the C++ library inspected
for missing symbols, you have to pass the flag -lstdc++ (or whatever
librar you are using). g++ includes libstdc++ by default.

I was pretty sure that there is a FAQ for gnu.g++.help which would
corresondingly be available from rtfm.mit.edu. But there is none...

I'm sorry for giving a false pointer in a somewhat unfriendly fashion.
Please excuse this.

I am a realistic optimist - that's why I appear to be slightly pessimistic
